The Skoda Superb has won ‘Car of The Year 2009′ award in its home turf Czech Republic. It has won the first place in ‘Middle and Upper Middle class’ Category, beating 42 competitors.

The Skoda Superb is a very popular car amongst locals. Every Skoda is a class topper in Czech to be exact. It also won the towcar awards earlier last year, and then came Sky’s Best Gadget award for its Parking Assist.

Skoda has given the 8-year old C-segment Skoda Octavia liftback (aeroback) and estate a much needed facelift, for release in 2009. The Octavia had never been taken care of by Skoda in the recent past, so this facelift can help Octavia to atleast stand up against stronger rivals like Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla Altis.
